[Republication is] the re-execution by the testator of a will or codicil previously revoked.

CONT

The distinction between revival and republication is that the former restores a revoked will and the latter confirms an unrevoked will so as to cause it to operate as if executed on the date of republication. Republication by re-execution has been frequently used in order to validate unattested previous alterations.
